Well, as I mentioned already, there are people who believe it is a
complete waste by itself, not only in print form ;)

MS Word?!! You really believe a professional publisher can prepare
Persian print quality books in MS Word?! There *have* been claims that
MS Word 2003 does *something* for the first time in MS Word history that
one can publish a professional-looking book with lots of efforts with it
(I actually heard this from a publisher), but that's all.

The books are usually prepared using software developed in Iran, like
Zarnegar. In case of dictionaries, usually very specialized software is
used to create a, say, Zarnegar document which can then be typeset.
